On trots out new Cyclon references
On is deepening its partnership with Loop Industries, one of the key partners in its innovative circular subscription service, Cyclon. Launched in 2022, it is based on products designed to be recycled once returned to the Swiss brand.

Now Cyclon subscribers will have access to two new references, Cloudrise, for everyday running, and Cloudeasy, for training and everyday activities. They will no doubt appeal to a broad customer base, as Cloudneo, the inaugural product, was a high-performance running shoe. The subscription programme also includes a running top, Cyclon-T.

The upper of the Cyclon Cloudeasy reference is made from 100% recycled PET plastic and polyester. That of Cloudrise is made from a biobased nylon PA11 derived from castor bean oil.

Based in Terrebonne, Quebec, Loop Industries has developed a chemical recycling process for PET plastics and polyester fabrics using methanol as a solvent. It will be setting up a recycling facility in France with French chemicals group Suez in a €450 million investment and with a planned capacity of 70,000 tonnes per year.
